The New Year's posts are flooding your newsfeed today, aren't they? If I read one more unattainable resolution fluffed with optimism and rainbows I'm going to puke up all the pizza, whisky, BBQ, chocolate, and tacos that I've consumed over the last 3 weeks.

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I didn’t become a better person.

— Some meme.

I'm all about self-improvement...but I do think it's something that should be happening all year rather than just the first two weeks of January. So to spare you from my long boring list of things I'd like to improve about myself and my business (it's a LONNNGGG list, y'all!), I will tell you that, as always, I am working on making things bigger and better this year. Ironically, this will be done by simplifying and doing LESS.

2014 was VERY good to me. I am one blessed chick. I busted my hump and reaped the benefits. New business model, new studio, a re-discovered passion for what I do, and a lot of new relationships personally and professionally that have brightened my year.

But I can say with 100% certainty that 2015 is going to kick 2014's ass.

HELLO, DAHHLING!

I'm Kara Marie and I'm a photographer of the modern woman. I wear an all black capsule wardrobe, my makeup “kit” fits in the palm of my hand, I feel best with no pants and messy hair, and my shoot aesthetic matches my own personal style. Feel free to browse around, I'm not shy. But do it with wine. Everything is better with wine.
